Economic order quantity (EOQ)
The order quantity that minimizes total inventory cost by balancing ordering cost against holding cost.
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) answers 'how much should I order at once?' It balances two opposing costs: ordering too often racks up per-order costs, while ordering too much ties up cash and raises holding costs. EOQ = the square root of (2 x annual demand x order cost / holding cost per unit).
